Material weldability and Testing of welds (Welding Technology data series)

Welding technology gained lot of importance in the last 75 years. There has been tremendous growth in welding applications due to continuous development of welding processes. It is essential for all welding professionals to gain expertise in welding technology for solving day to day welding problems during manufacturing. There are now more than 50 welding processes and each one has some application or other. Every process needs attention to critically evaluate for effective use in industry. This is the book on Materials Weldability and Testing of Welds, specially developed for Welding engineers, Supervisor and Welders for ready reference. There are several chapters on Ferrous and non-ferrous metals, Destructive testing and Non-Destructive testing methods. There are many challenges to be faced during manufacturing of products by welded fabrication. The motivation to write this book is to provide important data for daily use and guidance. Many authors contributed valuable information over the last 75 years or the growth of welding technology. Welding technology is very complex and readers should equip with knowledge of processes, welding metallurgy, welding design, Weldability and testing in order to satisfactorily execute product manufacture and provide customer delight. Author requests all readers to refer to already published volumes, as data series by Amazon to have full practical information on welding processes and welding design. There are 11 Chapters dealing with weldability, ferrous and non-ferrous materials metallurgy and Weldability o various metals Carbon steels, low alloy steels, Stainless steels, Cast Iron, aluminium alloys, Copper alloys, nickel alloys, titanium alloys, Cobalt alloys QT steels, maraging steels, Various destructive tests and Non-destructive tests. Special tests also were discussed. Annexures cover important data for ready reference. Many important websites and quick references are given for further enhancing of knowledge. It is hoped that all readers get immense benefit by this valuable book. Read more
